The Matrix SDK in Elm allows users to communicate with other instances using
|
||||
the [Matrix](https://matrix.org) protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
The Elm SDK serves as a more consistent alternative to the
|
||||
[matrix-js-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/), which is a
|
||||
JavaScript implementation of the Matrix protocol with several downsides. In
|
||||
contrast, the Elm SDK supports:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **Matrix spec version adjustment** based on which spec version the
|
||||
homeserver supports. The matrix-js-sdk spec uses endpoints from legacy versions
|
||||
and exclusively supports the latest 4 spec versions, while this SDK listens to
|
||||
the homeserver's supported spec versions and talks to the server accordingly.
|
||||
See [docs/supported.md](docs/supported.md) to discover which interactions are
|
||||
supported for which spec versions.
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **One way to do things** instead of having multiple functions that are
|
||||
considered deprecated.

## How to install
|
||||
|
||||
In your terminal, run
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
elm install noordstar/elm-matrix-sdk-beta
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that the beta versions are intended to develop rapidly. You should
|
||||
not expect the versions to remain reliable for years! If you need a stable
|
||||
version, please wait around for a full version.

# Supported features in spec versions
|
||||
|
||||
The Matrix spec frequently releases new spec versions. Most features are
|
||||
supported in the Elm SDK on most spec releases, but not all endpoints exist
|
||||
for every version. For example, in very early versions you couldn't even get
|
||||
the content of an event!
|
||||
|
||||
This document specifies which features you can expect to work for which spec
|
||||
versions. This can help you decide whether the SDK will interoperate with your
|
||||
homeserver, or that it may be better to not rely on a specific feature.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Considering that the current version does not support interaction with a
|
||||
homeserver, no functionality is supported at any spec version.
